Dante and Vergil are named after two characters from The Divine Comedy, that actually, through the series, go through a physical hell that is almost a mirror image of the physical and metaphorical trip through hell from the divine comedy. Sparda is a word that means sword, which is sort of representative as not only being the sword that struck down the legions of hell in the series, but also representative of his sword that is also named Sparda - that Dante eventually uses to strike down the forces of Hell. There are biblical and mythological references that actually kind of make sense in the original series, and aren't just there because they sound neat, like Sting likes to do in their RPG's.
So you're telling me, that in a series with a backstory that's so mythological and vast (i wouldn't say "excellent" or "impressive"((but good)))
that The Order is Mysterious, and not unimaginative, or pedestrian, or the kind of bullshit you'd see in the first script draft of a film school student who just saw The Matrix for the first time.
by the way i'd just like to put it out there, that vergil was a poet in the divine comedy, and likely the developers will totally miss that opportunity for a third time to do anything with that.
